Branch Affiliation

Affiliate your union branch, student group or co-op.We can work with you on projects and issues that concern your members, and build practical solidarity with comrades in other countries. Affiliating couldn’t be easier and can be done be setting up a one-off direct debit.

Why affiliate?

USI will work with union branches and co-operatives to develop projects that use social media to campaign for change. By harnessing new media we can speak directly with people with an interest in our point of view to help share experiences and information to build the alternative.

You can affiliate as an individual, union or co-op branch, trades council, union local, regionally or nationally. Affiliation fees are available in the flyeror direct debit page.

Irish and international affiliations can be done via PayPal for the following amounts:

Branches of up to 100 members can affiliate for €12 (up to 200 – €24, 300 – €36, 400 – €48, 500 – €60) with union branches over 500 members at an annual cost of €90.

USI will work with trade unions across the world to explore the opportunities for union branches to twin and help them set-up exchanges through social media and the technology we have at our disposal.

USI wants to play its role in empowering workers to fight back and to support them in their struggles in different corners of the globe. We want to internationaliselocal campaigns so we build a movement that campaigns for change using our audience and supporter base that is in the tens of thousands.

This can be achieved through digitally campaigning by getting the active participation of union members, branches and progressives in the UK and Ireland – and beyond! But we also want your ideas as to how we can best allocate resources to deserving campaigns supporting workers and social movements – so please let us know here.

If you would prefer you can affiliate for the appropriate amount by post by sending a cheque, made payable to ‘Union Solidarity International’ to the following address: First Floor, 22/24 Worple Road, London, SW19 4DD.
